New York Death Rate, go Cuomo!

New York has 1/4 of the total Coronavirus cases in the US, yet 1/3 of the deaths. Why is it that New York has such a high death rate? Did New York experience a healthcare system failure?

Numbers based on worldometer stats.

What healthcare do you recommend for Covid-19?

@eladar said
Certainly not the kind that puts covid people nack into nursing homes. Certainly not the kind the puts people on ventilators before it is required.

@handyandy said
Well then, tell us the kind of healthcare you do recommend.

@eladar said
Certainly not New York's. How about Texas.

2.7 Percent of Cases, 1.3 Percent of deaths.

@handyandy said
What healthcare methods are they using in Texas that aren't being used in New York?

In New York a person with covid is 2.7 times more likely to die compared to covid patients in Texas.

Probably even higher since in Texas they have not tested nearly as many people.

@eladar said
Perhaps they are not putting covid people into nursing homes. Perhaps they are not killing people be ventilating patients who do not need it.

@handyandy said
How do you know they don't return Covid-19 patients to nursing homes? How do you know they don't use ventilators?

What healthcare systems are they using in Texas that are not being used in New York?

Actually. That’s not very nice or constructive of me. A lot like US foreign policy, really, when one comes to think of it.

Probably a better deal than you would get from China or Russia.

Look at the death rates. How else do you explain 3 times the number of deaths?

New York is densely populated. Texas is wide open and thinly populated.
